Minute to win it

This week my fifth graders were wrapping up the topic of numbers from 21-30. Numbers can be a dry topic, so I brought a couple games to help us practice and prepare for our upcoming quiz. 

Students divided themselves into groups. Then each group came up, wore the "fancy" glasses and competed against the clock to say aloud the numbers their teammates were wearing. It was great to see their competitive spirits and I was impressed by how prepared they were.

After round one, I overheard some students spelling the numbers other teams were using. I was so excited to see this, that I ditched my next game and we did a second round of our minute to win it. However, this time, students had to spell the numbers!!! What a fantastic performance.

Later, while speaking with their teacher, Ms. Bogner, I found out that the student's spelling list for the week included a lot of E I combination words. After finding this out, there was no doubt that practicing their Spanish numbers was also including the E I patter of their English spelling! I love when multiple subjects collide.

Take a look at how cute they all looked wearing the glasses
